Conservation status of the reptiles of South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho

Description:

This publication details the IUCN Red List assessments for all 401 described reptile species (Crocodilia, Testudines and Squamata) that occur in South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho, excluding marine and introduced species.

Each species account provides an extinction risk assessment, a description of the range and the active threats, as well as recommendations for conservation. In addition, new photographs of each species have been included.

This volume can be used as a reference handbook, but also as a field guide for both professionals and laypersons when reviewing the distributions of reptiles.
